80% probability - It's gone. If the project is urgent don't wait for it buy one from local sites.
20% probability - You will receive a letter from them (can take a couple of week to few months). Then you can collect a letter from you college and request them to release it. Drone parts for education institutes are fully allowed through customs. Next time order on you college address.
No description written and why it is gone ?
I can wait a month.
Drones are banned not fc i guess
Anything is banned if the customs thinks it is.
Most likely the sender use the item description as written in the web site. Like " flight controller for DRONE" and the very word DRONE can attract attention of the officials and may be the cause for hold.

He send the recipt and invoice which he attached to me via message on AliExpress when i contacted him and it is written pix+gps on it .
Then you should wait for a few days. Custom may send letter.

Ok is there anything which can fasten up process like should i call mumbai custom
Today they released it and send it finally to my state office so i guess i have to pay custom but how will they know the value
That's really good news. {:)} Did you have to do anything? or they just released it?
I didn't do anything automatically new status says send item to domestic location
Don't worry. The tax they charge will be any value they find fit, or they can release it for free. So wait for the parcel to be delivered by post man.

If there is a customs duty to pay, post man will inform you (some times before coming to your home). You can pay the amount to him and he will give a receipt.
the tracking status not updated for many days what should i do ?
what to do ?
i got the flight controller today with zero customs
That's a good news !!
May I request you to share more info (if you got any notes etc attached to parcel) for the information/ update of the forum members.
Thanks.
There was a custom recipt attached but it was left blank and there was some stamp saying rleased .
I didn't payed any custom seller declared the value 17$ and it was in envelope and it had all sort of tapes meaning it was opened multiple times
